Re: Post your character!

As my old saves seem to be messed up, I'm starting a new character. A mage this time.

Re: Post your character!

Contemplating life from the roof canopy of my lakehouse. Was it all worth it? Sure, I'd got to be the Dragonborn and I'd saved the world at least three times, but it's not like people thank me for it enough. I've aged thirty years too quickly and taken to wearing lots of gold and not much else.

After I finished drying myself from an evening swim I defended my little patch of land from a dragon with nought but a pick axe.

Coming back to the house I found that my wife Mjoll and our two children, Samuel and Hroar, were missing. I had dinner alone with just a couple of wine bottles to keep me company.

Mjoll and the kids still weren't back by morning so I decided to check in at the main family estate. Can you guess what I had for Samuel?

Lumina: (I know not creative name is it) Breton: Merchant/Craftsmen/Ranger, Loyal Imperial, Member of the Dawnguard.

Lumina makes some of the finest weapons in all of Skyrim, while keeping true to local traditions. Unlike her parents Lumina herself found technology more interesting than magic and loves studying old dwemer ruins, and artifacts. She has grown fond of understanding the uses of soul gems, a key component to dewmer technology. Because of all these years of studdy she is nearly inable to use but the simplest of magics.

Recently she has been working for the Dawnguard to eliminate Skyrim of her rising Vampire problems.

Lumina married Ghorbash the Iron Hand out of pitty for him, never to let him know this he travels with her everywhere she goes. When she convinced him to come join her she felt guilty that he had to dishonor his brothers name by doing so, in marriage she made sure he'd never have to return home to face him again.

Lumina herself enjoys tinkering with technology, crafting weapons/armor, toys, jewelry, just about anything brings a smile to her heart. She has befriended Sorine of the Dawnguards, and their long chats on improving the Dawnguards Crossbows have fancied her interest a number of times. Wylandriah of Riften's chats and theories have also amused her greatly, and she considered the Dark Elf a good friend, and has helped Wylandriah with a number of her experiments, primarily to help her knowledge of the use of souls and gems.

This is my Breton sorceress.

The lighting isn't very good and I haven't really found any outfits I'm terribly satisfied with so I decided to start roleplaying a devouring fertility-goddess, hence the wedding wreath-ragged clothing combo.

Re: Post your character!

Well, a lot of the early fertility-rituals involved some form of cannibalism (the devouring Bacchants, for instance - and even the ones who tore apart Orpheus). Spider-mothers, devouring goddesses, The White Goddess (!!!), are all examples of this. The link between birth and death - Cybele was originally a goddess of the underworld (i.e. death). In short, a blood or flesh sacrifice, or some form of loss (i.e. castration) is required in order to sate the devouring fertility-goddess, and after this has been done she ensures the creation of new life. This is also how she is able to run through Skyrim butchering everything.

You should just wear some Vampire royal armor, even has a nice enchantment. I always roll with it on all my characters since I got Dawnguard.

Dem traps.

It really depends. If I'm playing a warrior, he usually has significant muscle mass, if not necessarily the max. If I'm playing a sorceror or stealth character, I tend to make them a good deal smaller.
